Description
Welcome to Thomas Martellone Genealogy Research Podcasts! I’ve thought about podcasting for the longest time because I have really loved the work I’ve done related to genealogy and I think I have a knack for ”telling a good story”. I’m also an educator and that coupled with genealogy research has always influenced me in regards to teaching people about genealogy and getting them excited about family history research! My hope is to provide both genealogical content (research and related topics) along with anecdotes that may help inspire, ask questions, or maybe even get you started with family history research. Thanks in advance for following along! I’m glad to have you here.

Hey — if you love digging into family history, you’ve got to start hunting for Allegati (marriage attachments). They’re like backstage passes to your ancestor’s life, full of birth, death, military, and consent records that can finally answer those stubborn questions.
Next time you find a marriage record, don’t stop there — look for Allegati, Processetti, or Matrimoni Allegati online or at the town archives. You might find the very document that breaks your brick wall.
Trust me, it’s one of the best tricks in Italian genealogy — and totally worth a deep dive or calling a local researcher if you need help.
Have you ever seen information in a genealogical record that had you scratching your head? Did you know it had relevance, but you hit a wall and could not get any further with that particular piece of information or clue? In this episode, I share an instance where I found a clue, continually searched it, and then finally made a breakthrough with the help of my sister! Other tips are included in the podcast to help you in your search!
